It has oft been quoted that two heads are better than one, but let’s not stop there! Some of the best and brightest in the business world know the incredible power of collaboration and perspective when it comes to taking aim at growing to the next level. 75% of Fortune 500 CEO’s meet regularly with peer coaching groups.
For many, the concept of mastermind groups is still relatively new, even though it’s been around seventy-five or more years, thanks to the work of Napoleon Hill in his book “Think and Grow Rich”. At the most basic level a mastermind group is a small group of individuals who meet together to address challenges and gain insights to help them mobilize their own organizations and individual careers.
Our Big I Oklahoma Agency Opportunities department is proud to now be the home of a nationwide network of facilitated mastermind groups called MyNetwork. Why highlight the “facilitated” word? Because MyNetwork programming differs greatly from traditional “think tank” type mastermind groups. It’s also one of the many reasons that MyNetwork has grown to be a mission-critical lifeline to its members who meet virtually in high-impact settings to learn and collaborate for growth.
STIRS THE IMAGINATION
MyNetworkers leverage the power of perspective through the diverse experiences and expertise of their peers. The results speak for themselves with an ignited imagination that is so crucial to visioner forward.
SPARKS CURIOSITY
“I wonder” are two of the most powerful and empowering words in a leader’s headspace and vocabulary. Where curiosity sparks imagination, inspiration can take you and your team just about anywhere!
KINDLES FRUITFUL CONVERSATIONS
Every MyNetwork mastermind session includes insightful, energizing and encouraging conversations. “Member Matchups” connect you with your fellow networkers on a 1:1 basis to even further leverage the power of the collective “brilliance” inside your group.
TO BE CHALLENGED
Learning Rounds and Book workshops will push you beyond the barriers of status quo. Each provide new opportunities to expand your knowledge and expertise, maybe even considering a whole new angle to an old theme. Regardless of the learning perspective, the goal is always to keep you growing.
